Hmmm, imagine that, another auto 260 into the 12's.....

looks like all the 260's sick of the 290's stealing the limelight!!! Congrats mate, you've been patiently waiting in the wings, club 12 welcomes you with open arms! :

Was awsome seeing that timing board light up mate and backing it up on your last run with a identical time. Welcome to club 12 :

Went to WSID last night with Wade and Leigh and had a great time.
As Rich has posted I came home with a new PB.

My runs were as follows:-

12.985@106.32 1.953 60' PB

13.107@106.30 2.002 60'

13.054@105.97 1.987 60'

13.963@104.74 2.914 60' (Dragged thru beams while stalling up)

13.093@106.46 2.020 60'

12.985@106.66 1.973 60' =PB

I was very pleased the way the ute went last night and I must give a big thanks to Chris. He always said the ute had it in it and as usual he was right.

It was great to see Wade get some more PB's. To see and hear his launches is something else again. The tyres really scream for mercy on the launch and gear changes. It's awesome.

It would have been good to see Leigh's beast do some good times but that wasn't to be. Bad luck mate.

CU all next time.

Chris

Again mate, that's a great effort. A long way from that off/on spluttering 14 sec Unichip'd ute. Keep it up mate, planning on a visit this week?
